Acrylamide

Contents

30% acrylamide solution is used for the creation of polyacrylamide gels in gel electrophoresis techniques, such as western blotting. Acrylamide needs to be handled using best laboratory practice (such as wearing appropriate gloves, lab coat etc. and having safe systems of work) to avoid poisonous exposure since it is a neurotoxin.
